Inner City Youth, Inc. pairs Colorado students in grades K–5 with free, one-on-one tutoring through TutorMeK5 — because a ZIP code should never decide how far a child gets to go.
Inner City Youth, Inc. is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2001, dedicated to one goal: a child's ZIP code should never determine the quality of education they receive. Through TutorMeK5 one-on-one tutoring and community partnerships, we help underserved children build confidence, reach their potential, and create a brighter future — regardless of where they live.
Free, personalized one-on-one tutoring for K–5 students whose families can't afford private tutoring — built around how each child actually learns.

The goal for every child we serve
Every subject looks a little different — this is just one example of what growth can look like in reading. The same one-on-one attention applies to math, writing, and homework help too.
Every sponsorship, no matter the size, helps a child build confidence and stronger skills.
